Buy a RX 9070 XT instead for $75 more at microcenter, if you have one nearby. It performs better than a 5070ti.
I agree that the 9070 XT is a better GPU and a good value for an additional $75. However, it doesn't perform better than a 5070 Ti. The 5070 Ti is generally about the same in most rasterized benchmarks and significantly faster in RT benchmarks.
That being said, it becomes one of those where do you stop things. Don't buy the Arc B570 because the B580 is only $40 more. Don't but that because you can get a 9060 XT for a $100 more. Don't buy that because the 5060 Ti 16GB is on-sale for $400. Don't buy that because the 5070 is only $100 more for 30-40% better performance.
The 5070 is a good value at $500 if you can live with 12GB of VRAM. If you get the 9070 XT, you are spending more to get more. Both are good values in my opinion depending on which trade-offs you prefer.
Picked this up at my local MC yesterday and already installed it. It's a fantastic card for the money. Just checked and its already sold out at my store
